Vacheron Constantin’s Maître Cabinotiers service is perhaps an unique offering by a Grande Maison to allow collectors to customise their timepieces.

By Roberta Naas It is always enjoyable to spend time with the best minds of our industry. Recently, I had one-on-one time with Richard Mille, CEO and founder of the eponymous brand, wherein we talked about brand ambassadors, business and a passion for cars.
